Incidentally, Qi Jun also received 'kind' advice from two groups of US federal police: don't run around at night.
The public safety in the US is not as secure as reported by the media.
As a nation where everyone carries guns, sometimes even a verbal argument can inexplicably escalate into a gunfight.
What's more, Qi Jun had just heard people discussing a gunfight that happened during the day while he was on the road.
Although Qi Jun understood it haltingly, he still got the general idea: someone who had been fired sought revenge, directly spraying the crowd and killing as many as 13 people!
After understanding this, Qi Jun couldn't help but sigh, indeed, the people of the US are quick-tempered, using guns to vent when things don't go their way.
But at the same time, it also gave Qi Jun a great sense of crisis.
A gentleman does not stand under a tottering wall, and Qi Jun certainly did not want to entrust his life to so-called luck.
If he didn't want to 'accidentally' die, then he had to possess sufficiently powerful strength: both his own strength and the power of his subordinates!
At the same time, Qi Jun also looked regretful, thinking, 'Damn, those are thirteen recyclable treasures!'
If Qi Jun had recycled them, wouldn't he have gained thirteen points of energy out of thin air?
One point of energy could do so much; thirteen points of energy would definitely give Qi Jun a perfect start!
What a pity!
Just wasted like that!
Chapter 7: The Lurker's Sunglasses
Hell's Kitchen, this is a very interesting place.
It's an area openly known as a gathering place for gangs, yet no police come to crack down on crime.
In fact, at night, gang members run rampant even more brazenly; even if a gunfight breaks out, it's a magical place where no police might patrol or investigate for an entire night!
The taxi Qi Jun was in refused to go even one meter further into Hell's Kitchen after reaching its outskirts.
With no other option, Qi Jun paid the fare, plus a small tip, then got out and chose to walk into the Hell's Kitchen district... Qi Jun didn't enter Hell's Kitchen conspicuously; instead, he first hid in a dark corner, preparing to materialize some 'props' before going in.
At night in Hell's Kitchen, all sorts of unsavory characters are out; let alone Qi Jun being alone, even an entire squad coming into Hell's Kitchen would be targeted in a matter of minutes.
First, Qi Jun used 0.1 energy points to materialize a standard night-operations suit (similar to the Men in Black) and a toy gun.
Yes, a genuine toy gun; apart from looking exactly like a real gun, it was entirely made of lightweight plastic on the inside, incapable of firing real bullets, or even water pellets.
However, when Qi Jun tucked it into his waistband, that bulging lump would definitely deter at least some gang members.
This would make those gang members think carefully about whether it was worth targeting Qi Jun.
Then, Qi Jun used the remaining 0.4 energy points to materialize a pair of sunglasses that would make people unconsciously ignore the wearer.
Lurker's Sunglasses: As long as the wearer does not actively make a move, they can maximize the extent to which everyone around them ignores the wearer, and also block all surveillance cameras and recording equipment. The effect lasts for forty minutes and costs 0.4 energy points to create.
The above are the attributes of the sunglasses materialized by Qi Jun. The sunglasses themselves cost almost no energy points, but 0.1 energy point provides ten minutes of effect, so 0.4 energy points provides exactly forty minutes.
Once the forty minutes are up, without the energy boost, these sunglasses would truly just be a pair of ordinary sunglasses.
But for Qi Jun, forty minutes was definitely enough time for him to plan, even more than enough... With the sunglasses on, Qi Jun, dressed in a standard Men in Black outfit, was freshly made.
Wearing sunglasses late at night, this should have been an extremely strange sight, yet the people around him completely ignored it, as if he wasn't there.
Qi Jun even tried walking openly in front of these gang members, and as expected, they overlooked him, treating him completely like air.
Seeing this, Qi Jun was completely reassured.
He turned and returned to the shadows, beginning to search for his prey.
Although he was very confident in the power of the [Mutated Gem], this was after all a Marvel universe with many super-powered individuals; who knew if someone could ignore the effect of the Lurker's Sunglasses?
Before growing stronger, it's better to act quietly and not be ostentatious... Bang~~ Bang bang~~~
Boom!!!
Not long after, Qi Jun heard a fierce gunfight and explosion.
Qi Jun was quite excited, Hell's Kitchen was indeed his treasure trove!
Following the direction of the gunfire, Qi Jun excitedly ran over... Whoosh~~
Screech!!!
A stray bullet flew past Qi Jun's face, hitting the wall ahead and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The shattered and flying concrete hit Qi Jun's cheek, instantly cooling his excited blood. He quickly slammed on the brakes and stopped at the corner.
Hiss~~~
Phew~~~
Taking a deep breath, Qi Jun suddenly remembered, 'Damn, this is a real gunfight!'
"Holy crap!"
"You scared your daddy to death!"
This was a gunfight where people could die!
Running over so foolishly, was he trying to get himself killed?
Gulp~~~
Swallowing hard, Qi Jun immediately fell into an internal struggle.
